Subscribe to our BitComet help needed
I tried over a 100 attempts in past 4 weeks to get a high download speed but nothing seems to wok.
My Specifications:
OS : Windows XP Professional SP2(Gold edition).
Internet Connection Type : Cable/256 KBps
Torrent Client : BitComet 1.06 Stable.
Firewall : Windows XP Firewall.
My bitcomet is added to firewall exception. My listen port is 60666. It's always green in the indicator. I checked my port on PortForward.com, tested my net on Speedtest.com, followed all the instructions that were stated and made all the changes in my BitComet 'Options' and 'Preferences' and though all the tests were positive about my port not being blocked by my ISP, my download speed never gets above 30 KBps. Once in a while, it does reach around 35 KBps but only for a few seconds. I bet a lot of you readers are having 10 to 75 %(or may be more) higher speed than mine.
Can anyone help?. I would like to chat with an advanced expert to follow his instructions online and give feedback right away and work things out. my yahoo Messenger id is michaelikestoride@yahoo.com. Do send an advanced notice first.
Thank You.
Hi michaelikestoride, anyhow u can able to identify your download rate in your router page and also make sure that it was same as that you specified in this post....
ISPs advertise speed in bits (b) and BitComet shows speeds in bytes (B).
8b = 1B so 256kbps = 32kBps
If you are not certain what the 256 represents, try the speed test referenced in this guide:

Dear Friend,
I know how many bits make a Byte. So if u read my post again, u should see i wrote 256 KBps, where B is Capital, meaning Bytes not bits.
Thx.
The reason I bought that up is speedtest by default shows results in kilobits.
Anyhow, what was your upload speed result on the test and what did you cap upload at in BitComet?
Also, who is your ISP as they may be limiting bittorrent bandwidth.
